"extraordinary"
The Hook, Charlottesville, Va
"The Falsies are obviously a band with a sense of humor. But this Charlottesville based group also put a lot of care into their songwriting. The album has echoes of pre-Beatles rock and roll, the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and the Cramps, but manages to be very original in a deliciously low-fi way."
Chris Connelly, OnTap, Washington D.C.
"An insanely entertaining pop-rock band!"
staff writer, C-ville Weekly
"Of all the groups we've heard, these guys could be the first to sell a million records with the right exposure---maybe a claymation video."
Bruce Flohr, ATO Records, printed in The Hook
"captivating insanity"
Vijith Assar, The Hook
"Falsies fans know that the onstage chaos is half the fun (the other half involves shouting along to choruses like "Ten Ton Cheese" and "We want to fuck!"), and wouldn't want it any other way."
Dan Catalano, C-ville Weekly
"The songs are absolutely hilarious! Reading the lyrics while listening to the disc made me chuckle out loud---The music accompanying the words is equally outlandish."
Damani Harrison, The Hook
"---weird but completely enjoyable set of original rock---the crowd was as focused on the tunes as they were on Peter's tits."
Spencer Lathrop, C-ville Weekly

Influences: Absurdism may be defined as a joyful celebration of the meaninglessness of life. The Falsies are the musical personification of this philosophy.

Absurdity and sexuality are the foundations of rock music - the very act of calling fucking "rock n roll" illustrates this point. The Falsies cheerfully bear the burden of reintroducing this important tenet to the masses through their songs and live performances.

We exploit the devices of absurdist drama for equally comic and philosophical ends - some people get it, some don't.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. ,Tom Stoppard, Jean Genet, Samuel Beckett, Mildred (Babe) Didrikson Zaharias, Albert Camus, Tex Avery, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Homestar Runner, The Dead Milkmen, Ween, etc
Sounds Like: absurdist rock, catchy non-sequiteurs
